Hugh Millard

Hugh has studied Iyengar Yoga since 1991 and began teaching in 1997. He has traveled to the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India for two extended stays in order to study with the Iyengar family in 2000 and 2005. He began his studies with Mary Dunn and Manouso Manos. Between 2001 and 2017 he traveled regularly to California to study with Donald Moyer in Berkeley at the Yoga Room. Since then he has studied with Firooza Razvi traveling to India and California when she is not teaching in New York City.

Hugh offers this advice to students: “Examine why you are doing yoga; stay with it and don’t give up. Iyengar Yoga makes the practice of yoga experiential—physically, emotionally, and mentally.” Hugh describes his teaching style as patient, exacting, and humorous. “Do no harm. I aim to observe the student and teach according to what I see.”
